The Waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
--Theodore Roethke

OMG! They've Killed Kenny's Face!
Kenny Rogers has joined others who for some reason decided they'd look better after cosmetic surgery and botox. Others off the top of my head I can think of who would look fine if they'd leave their faces alone are Priscilla Presley, Joan Rivers, Burt Reynolds, Mary Tyler Moore, and who else? Doing all this doesn't fool anyone into believing you're not your age but makes you look freakish. It's sad when we can't accept ourselves at all the stages of our lives and enjoy being where we are and who we are.
